Are you suggesting that one's fake too?
-
I don't see anything that concerns me, although I don't think it's a particularly good comparison due to the very different degrees of wear.
-
Not me, but this made me smile.

Is there such a thing as an 1859/8 Halfpenny?

I had to get mine from the States. -
Gold proofs

I fancy that too but I'll let you have it this time. -
Well you've got all the pennies so it's probably time you started on something else.

I for one would like to see how you get on Paddy. -

Nope. Verdicare won't touch that. It's quite good for early stage verdigris and loosening grime though. -
What's the tolerance of your kitchen scales? I don't think they can be relied on to be that accurate.
-
I'm not convinced it's because people think they are rare, more that they can be sold for above face value. I guess you can't blame them.

I now have a full set of Olympic 50ps.
-
Listing removed as no longer available... Good work.
-
You might be right. Could be a contemporary forgery, or possibly just a different die. Have you checked the weight Richard2?
-
Not much, as far as I can see...
-
Krause is full of errors (although I still think they've done a fairly decent job considering the scale of the undertaking). The first link I posted to lists as KM#365 and has the VI lettering.
-
No it isn't. 1819 is KM#365.
-
KM#365 I suggest. Suspect Krause listing (pictured) is inaccurate with regard to the lettering as other examples show the VI. https://www.lofty.com/products/portugal-juan-vi-40-reis-1819-k365-vf-70-ebc-mbc-1-smsrz https://www.portugalmoedas.com.pt/artigo.aspx?id=17619

It's Derek's I think. -
Raw Pete?

Ooo, Paddy, that verdigris is grim. I don't see how that can be removed. What made you buy it? I know you said it was cheap but I don't think I'd give you 30p for it. -

Music to sort coins to

I've just spent a day riddling about 32 cubic feet of soil. I feel your pain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbhYqV17CoQ -

Makes my Jim Bowen autograph pale into insignificance.
